Kirby Smart describes opposing locker rooms in the SEC as 'dungeons'
On Tuesday, Georgia beat reporters in Athens got Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart to weigh in all on the hot topics in the SEC.
While Smart’s Tuesday press conference did have its share of UGA football questions, he was also asked about noon kickoffs, a hot topic thanks to Alabama, and opposing locker rooms, the subject of an ongoing back-and-forth between Texas and LSU.
As a long-time assistant at Alabama and now the head coach at Georgia, Smart is uniquely familiar with opposing locker rooms around the SEC. He candidly revealed that one part of the stadium is getting ignored when it comes to facility upgrades. When asked about the LSU-Texas story, Smart told reporters that it would probably be a worthwhile story for them to cover sometime. He also admitted that Georgia’s opposing locker room is “not very good.”
“Some of the SEC facilities on the road, y’all should go around and do a story on, because there’s not very good locker rooms in the SEC on the road,” Smart told the media. “They’re mostly the old ’60s and ’70s locker rooms from stadium to stadium.
“It’d be a nice little story, some of the places that I’ve been to, and the dungeons you’ve been in. They’re not high-quality, and I’m not picking on other places because it’s not very good here. They’re not very nice. That’s just the way it is.”
Smart’s candid answer is getting a lot of attention on social media.
I would think the University of Georgia could afford to fly in their own version of the Taj Majal Hall to dress in.
Being the absolute greatest football team, as I have read on here, certainly they shouldn’t have to dress were other visiting opponents have to.
Shame on you Bulldog fans for not providing them a portable dressing facility at least equal to the new digs at LSU.
Shame!
Kentucky wins 10 games once, and they think they can get all uppity.
Settle down, Beavis.
Don’t count that guy as “Kentucky”.
I can’t believe a fan of a school who has played a schedule ranked 216th has the nerve to comment on anything.
You are right.
Richt would not abide.
I don’t think I buy it. I’ve seen plenty of happy folks in Tennessee’s visitor’s locker room this season.
This is the best self deprecating comment I’ve ever seen. +1
LOL
I created an account just to give you props on an amazing comment. Strong Savagery my friend
That’s Just bad sportsmanship !!! It NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NCAA !!!
Bill Belichick level of sportsmanship.
